Going to take another photo in sunlight. Tried just a bit ago when a little sun peeked out and I think that white is diamond dusted. Just didnt' get a clear enough shot to be sure (plus its windy today).

Glad to see you liking the little guys Mary Ann! They really extend the bloom season, they are the season openers, and they are really hearty!

Gotta Share this story, Today I was out weeding and cleaning up beds in this really nice sunny day. Well, Bagheera, my cat saw me on my hands and knees and had to come and investigate. Of course he wanted to play and gets in the way, then starts rolling on the irises, so I had to pick him up and put him out of the bed. After a while he got bored, and climbed up onto my back and layed down to sun himself! He must have stayed there for 20 minutes until I had to get up. Honestly, I wish someone would have come along with a camera. That would have been quite a funny picture for sure, me on my hands and knees, and the cat sleeping on my back. Hilarious!

He's more like a dog then a cat, he loves everyone, and will let anyone pick him up.

I have several from orders over the past couple of years that haven't bloomed yet.. Waiting patiently (not!)

Mary Ann, it's pronounced, Ba - gear - ah. Bagheera is a panther from Disney's 1967 film the Jungle Book. He is a completely black cat.

Thumbs up Nice, Sherry ! I think that is Spiced Custard . We grow it, but it's one of those that doesn't bloom consistently for us. You won't see it for a year, ot two, then it will show up again Shrug! Nice flower, though....Arlyn
